Carnatic music concert

After a sunset beach walk I ran into a friend at the guesthouse who told me there was a concert on campus so we went.  It was Carnatic folk music, traditional music from Southern India.  There were 4 musicians sitting on the floor of the stage playing from left to right percussion, a mouth harp (also called jaw or jew’s harp), flute, and a South Indian violin,   I enjoyed the music; play the audio clip.  There is a detailed history to the development and organization of the music, which the musicians referred to between songs but meant little to me.  There were perhaps 50 people at the concert and my friend said it was poorly attended because it was not publicized.  He found out about it from the musicians who were staying near him at the guesthouse.  Normally the 200+ seat auditorium is packed for such an event.  Most of the attendees were young ~20 year old engineering students at this top rung technical school with western clothes and smartphones.  They seem to embrace both technology and their culture and traditions.  Just after we leave the students stage a huge week long cultural festival on campus that draws thousands of students from around the country.
